The Bala Massacre Pursuit Race has been rescheduled for Saturday 30th March.

This is three hour pursuit open to both dinghies and catamarans, withthe slowest classes starting at midday. In the past we have seen boats ranging from a Flying Dutchman to a Topper!

The event has experienced some very exciting conditions in past years as well as some lovely sunny spring conditions, but it is always a refreshing and rewarding way to start off your new season

We hope to see you in picturesque North Wales on the 30th.
